You can't... when you set/change the password, it's processed by
hashing function and the result value is stored in the userPassword
attribute.

You can, however, disable that kind of processing and store the
passwords in cleat-text (which I would recommend against since it's a
security hole) by using the console to configure the password-hashing
mechanism and setting it to none.
